DR. DRE - Miracle Mile, Los Angeles 1988 - Photo: Ithaka Darin Pappas

Portrait of Dr. Dre I made in 1988 at my apartment-studio in the Miracle Mile

 area of Los Angeles. Shoot was for Eazy E's "We Want Eazy" 12-inch vinyl 

cover...and general promo pics for NWA. This was the first of several shoots I 

did for Priority Records. 

Camera:  Hasselblad ELX with 105mm lens and Ilford HP5 (400 ISO) film.

This was the first of many shoots 

that I did for Priority Records between 1988 and 1991.

We also shot Big Lady K during that same session.

N.W.A - O GRUPO MAIS PERIGOSO DO MUNDO (fotografia por: Ithaka Darin Pappas)

Nova Blitz traz CD de DJ Ride e 10 páginas sobre N.W.A.

• ReB
 
• Setembro 24, 2015
 
• Curtas
 

A nova edição da revista Blitz, que amanhã chega às bancas, tem múltiplos pontos de interesse para os leitores que seguem o universo explorado pelo Rimas e Batidas: a começar num CD de título Remixes & B Sides onde se reúne uma série de trabalhos dispersos de DJ Ride. São 17 faixas ao todo, incluindo trabalhos de remistura para artistas como Legendary Tigerman, Gentleman, Capicua, HMB ou Batida e colaborações com Beatbombers ou o irmão Holly e ainda inéditos ou versões alternativas de temas já conhecidos e editados em nome próprio. A acompanhar este CD há uma entrevista de Mário Rui Vieira e uma passagem do próprio DJ Ride por cada um dos 17 temas que se incluem neste disco.

Há mais pontos de interesse nesta edição: os míticos N.W.A. de Dr Dre, Eazy-E e Ice Cube, que inspiraram o blockbuster americano Straight Outta Compton que por sua vez inspirou Compton: A Soundtrack com que o produtor do mítico The Chronic quebrou um longo silêncio, merecem um longo artigo de 10 páginas da autoria de Rui Miguel Abreu (director desta vossa casa). Há ainda uma entrevista com Darin Pappas, o mentor do projecto Ithaka que deu cartas na cena hip hop nacional nos anos 90, que tem a particularidade de ter fotografado os N.W.A. na época em que vivia em Los Angeles, no final dos anos 80.

Para lá destes dois óbvios argumentos, a Blitz de Outubro inclui ainda uma entrevista de fôlego com Carlão e várias críticas a discos do universo hip hop/electrónico. Edição a não perder, portanto.
